Friendly Energy

Environmentally friendly energy

Various efforts have been made to make a lot of mobile networks is more environmentally friendly. Including the provision of electricity for base transceiver station. BTS especially in remote areas where electricity is not affordable.

Remote areas normally use diesel generators, or it could be renewable energy, like solar cells or windmills, or a combination of both. Just to the constraints diesel power is still expensive fuel deliveries, while the solar cells and wind capacity is limited.

During this storage of solar energy and wind power are always using the battery pack. Weaknesses battery, in addition to limited capacity, also take a long time, as the wind does not always blow strongly, while the sun shines only during the daytime

An interesting solution is currently being created by converting the excess power generated at certain moments in the form of synthetic natural gas.

This process is successfully developed in German and Austrian scientists, among others, cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute remedy Technology and Fuel Systems Solar Energy, Germany.

Through the process of electrolysis, electric current direction of the windmill or solar cells will separate water into hydrogen and oxygen gas. Addition of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to make methane gas metanisation results can be stored in gas cylinders or distributed through the existing gas network at this time.

For remote areas, this is very useful, not only for the needs of the kitchen, but also provide electricity. Even now, there are many generators that use natural gas, fuel-cell power plant can also be used without transport to be troubled with a difficult and dangerous.

For a very rich country with sunshine and has thousands of remote islands such as Indonesia, this is certainly an advantage if implemented.\

Especially now Fraunhofer scientists also have found that solar cell efficiency of 41.1 percent has developed a young scientist, Dr. Frank Dimrtoh and his team. Metamporpic solar cell efficiency triple-junction is almost twice the efficiency of conventional silicon-based solar cells today.
